Sarah Cunningham, a moderate middle-class white girl who grew up in the Michigan countryside, speaks about God with humor and honesty more characteristic of liberal West coast writers in this unabridged audio download of Picking Dandelions. In this warm and witty memoir, she describes finding and keeping a personal faith in the quirky settings of her ultra-Christian childhood. Whether recounting living next to a cemetery, teaching at-risk high schoolers, or listening to her grandmother’s stories about being a British “war bride,” the author weaves faith into down-to-earth metaphors of growth and renewal, planting and reaping, greenery and weeds. In the end, Cunningham succeeds in sifting through the dysfunctions and flaws of human life and discovering pockets of God’s original Eden goodness for both herself and for you.

Picking Dandelions is a candid and personal account of outgrowing laissez-faire Christianity, moving into mature faith, and realizing that a God-following person is a changing person … and you just might follow suit.

by Stephanie | 4/3/2011

" This book just came out yesterday. It was written by one of my best friends, who also happens to be one of the greatest people I know. I am going to open it tonight and sure I will finish it in one sitting. This is her second book and I am sure it will be just as good as her first. "

" If you like Anne Lamott, Elizabeth Gilbert, Kath. Norris, pick up Sarah Cunningham's new memoir. A departure from her first collection of essays about organized religion, this series of stories about growing up in ultra-religious territory is funny, witty, and intelligent. "
